/cover-large.jpg)
Before SECRET INVASION...before WORLD WAR HULK...before CIVIL WAR... The most powerful super-villains in the Marvel Universe gather their might to wreak havoc on the one place they've never before set foot—YOUR WORLD! As mankind's enemies cut a swath of destruction with unprecedented ferocity and ruthlessness, the fate of the planet rests in the hands of one person: Toby, a 13-year-old boy who holds the key to uniting his comic-book idols, the Marvel Heroes! Superstars Mark Millar (CIVIL WAR, FANTASTIC FOUR) and Tommy Lee Edwards (BULLET POINTS, The Question) deliver a Marvel Event the likes of which you’ve never seen!

I still can't figure out why this is a good idea.
Still, if it turns out to be good, I'll pick it up in trade.

This idea doesn't really appeal to me at all, but for some reason I still expect it to be great. Is that weird?

I'm certainly excited. I have no idea what to expect, but I do hope we get some brown costume Wolvie action as promised by the cover!

Should have stuck with the original photo art!

LOVED this!!! Reminds me of stuff like Monster Squad only with the Marvel Universe. Call me a fanboy but I especially liked the scene in the comic book store. Beautiful art as well.

I've read three pages, but if Ron has the pick, this is it. Mark Millar wrote a book that's actually about Ron.

I thought this was great. With the first few pages I started to not really care wether any super hero's were going to show up. I liked the kid. I liked the people talking about comics. I loved the art. This was one of my top two this week.

I liked this but have a feeling it could get bad in a hurry

Does someone here read "20th Century Boys" ?
Because if you did you would get the same feeling ...Nostalgia.
Great Book hope it gets recognized...

this book was great. mark miller need to keep doing these kind of "no pressure" mini's. to think i wasn't going to pick this up but people kept on calling me to see if i was sold out yet so i grabed the last one for myself.

The year 1985 was pivitol in my comic reading life. Picking this up was a no-brainer for me for that alone. Plus T.L. Edwards is a favorite of mine. I thought it really delivered and can't wait to see where this goes. So far this is my POW.

This BOOK KICKED ASS
>Spooky : oh yeah I read 20th Century Boys, that's an amazing series
This cover is amazing. Even after reading the synopsis I still don't know what to expect. I think I will pick this up because Kick Ass is still fresh in my mind and right now Millar can do no wrong. I also picked up his run on Wolverine a few years ago which kicked ass too (pun intended). Not a fan of the cover price however. Probably just get a card stock cover and no extra pages for the extra buck. Anyone else heard anything about this one?
